Veterinary Employment Services

General information

VETS has built a reputation as one of the best agencies in the UK by dealing swiftly, confidentially & efficiently with only the best veterinary surgeons & veterinary nurses. In recent years the quality of locum vets & VNs seeking work in the UK has varied – VETS maintains exacting standards & continues to check any potential locum’s CV & written references, RCVS registration, entry status &, where necessary, spoken English. This is why practices will often use us in preference to many other agencies.

Veterinary Employment Services provides as much personal contact & support as needed – we aim to be exceptionally friendly & approachable. We can talk you through the whole process of seeking work & can advise you on all the practicalities – visas, RCVS registration, professional indemnity insurance, bank accounts, accountants & tax – if required. Or if you prefer we can just find you the ideal vet or vet nurse job to suit your requirements. Vets Employment Services supplies honest feedback about positions – both good & bad. Having worked with hundreds of UK practices for decades we are able to provide comprehensive background information including any foibles & eccentricities! Our database covers thousands of small animal, mixed, farm & equine practices in England, Wales, Scotland & Ireland so we should be able to find you a great job no matter where you want to be or what type of practice you’re looking for.

Veterinary Employment Services works as an introduction agency – practices pay us an initial, fixed fee for finding them a locum vet or vet nurse. Our service is absolutely free to the locum & we do not take a cut of your daily rate nor does our fee vary according to whatever rate you agree with the practice. We’re always happy to advise or act as an intermediary if you have any questions however the final negotiations are between the locum & the practice – we need never know your rate, if you prefer to keep this private. Why not take a look at the Job Vacancies page to see a selection of work that is available at the moment covering locum and permanent vet work and vet nursing jobs in the UK.
